Mission Statement

Her Heart Sounds mission is to improve women's cardiac health outcomes by the implementation of women's only cardiac support programs and research. Additionally, Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) education dissemination will be delivered to emergency rooms and cardiology departments.

Cardiac Support Programs

Purpose of Cardiac Support Programs

The purpose of Her Heart Sounds Cardiac Support Programs is to reduce readmission and recurrence.  Additionally, due to the comprehensive nature of our programs we expect improved cardiac outcomes and enhanced SCAD Survivor quality of life.  We will be obtaining efficacy data for research studies to improve cardiac outcomes.

The SCAD specific Stress Management six-week program is offered on Mondays at 12 pm (MST) and Wednesdays at 6 pm (MST) by Dr. Angela Cassola, PhD in Health Psychology, and Executive Director and SCAD Survivor, Sheryl Martin.  Learn ways to reduce stress and share with other SCAD Survivors from all over the world in a zoom meeting platform.  To date program data is revealing high efficacy and satisfaction from participants.  This program is open to male SCAD Survivors as well.  $10 program fee - please pay via this link: Program Fee  (Intellectual property of Sheryl Martin 2022)

Patient Liaison/Advocacy Service

Please contact us if you need SCAD information, assistance with medical advocacy including medical record review, and other assistance.  We will provide a zoom meeting or phone call to support you - this service is free and open to both men and women. (Intellectual property of Sheryl Martin 2022)

Contact

PTSD Inpatient Prevention Program

Our PTSD program will provide immediate contact to women who have experienced a cardiac event, especially SCAD.  This will entail providing a combination of Mental Health First Aid and Resiliency Training to reduce the incidence of PTSD and other emotional disorders like depression, anxiety, and anger.

Virtual Cardiac Support Discharge Lounge

The Virtual Discharge Lounge will provide needed services to support a female cardiac survivor including family counseling, other resource referrals, back to work protocol and assistance, referral to the SCAD Stress Management Program, and orientation services for cardiac rehab.  Additionally, patient liaison services will be offered to assist the patient with processing oftentimes misleading, contradictory and confusing cardiac information.

Peer to Peer Program

This is a developing program to provide SCAD Survivors with a peer buddy to assist with support and friendship.  All peers will be trained and will sign confidentiality agreements. 

Women's Cardiac Rehab with SCAD specific component

Research indicates that women are referred to cardiac rehab less than men, are less likely to attend, and less likely to complete the program.  Therefore, Her Heart Sounds is developing a woman's only cardiac rehabilitation component to be implemented within existing cardiac rehab programs and clinics with a cardiac rehab clinic orientation video and an emotional support component.  Additionally, we will provide education dissemination for a SCAD specific protocol.
